As you may know, a BOTNET is a network of zombie computers - thousands surreptitiously are infected with code that allows an unauthorized user to control them via the Internet. The computers can be used to steal your business information, launch malicious attacks, and continue the spread of spam. We've watched BOT armies grow at a bizarre rate, is some cases, as large as 550,000 machines. Typical BOT army sizes range between 10,000 machines and 200,000 machines, but it only takes an army of 200 to take down a corporate network.
Join us at ICCS 2009 as we discuss, INFECTION DETECTION, with Nasir Memon, Ph.D., professor of computer science, Polytechnic Institute of New York University, New York, N.Y.
INFECTION DETECTION is a new approach to detecting compromised hosts from the network by passively observing host communications behavior. Detection from the network has many advantages: in particular host access is not needed, and the passive nature of the observation means the malware does not know how it is being observed and can not defeat the detection process by deleting log entries, among other strategies.
